From the artist:
The WATCHER sculpture design started in 1978, and began as a series with two figures in half-inch thick mild
steel. Over the years I have added WATCHERS in wood, copper, brass, stainless steel, painted steel and aluminum.
Each WATCHER is unique either by material, color, size, or location. The peaceful figure of the seated man has
progressed to approximately 100 different individual sculptures and can be found in both public and private
collections from Maine to Florida with the majority located in the Southeastern United States. Plus, international
with the Black and Amber Watcher perched at Langton’s in Kilkenny Ireland and two Watchers are sitting at the
County Council Building in Limerick Ireland.
